    摘要: A device for striking a tool shank with a controlled force includes a tip configured to contact the shank, a plunger configured to be retracted a pullback distance from the tip and to exert a force on the tip proportional to the pullback distance when released, and a control mechanism configured to control the pullback distance. A method of reducing run-out in a machine tool comprises placing the tool in a tool holder, measuring the run-out using an indicator, identifying a high spot, manipulating the control mechanism of the striking device to select the force based on the shank diameter, and striking the shank on the high spot using the striking device.
